Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic: Faces late fitness test Sunday
Ivanovic (groin) will need to pass a fitness test prior to Sunday in order to be in the squad against Leicester City.
Analysis:
For most of the year, Ivanovic has been an ironman for the Blues as he appeared in 32 of a possible 37 Premier League matches. In his previous five contests, the 32-year-old fired off four crosses from the back line in addition to making nine tackles and five interceptions. While he doesn't rack up the stats, fantasy owners know they are getting a consistent defender who will be on the pitch, which is a valuable trait.
